00:02Of course it's been a good run. Getting through the first match was essential because the flow
00:16wasn't really there. Then yesterday where everything kind of went into quite perfect
00:23for her where she managed to play with high quality shot but at the same time
00:30fight and defend really well and keep the momentum going for as long as she
00:35could all the time which was very positive and then today with the very
00:42strong start then kind of her opponent found the way and it was difficult for
00:50Luciana to get into that kind of movement and flow she needed to win. So a lot of
00:55learning opportunities also from today but yeah when we will assess, we will assess
01:02each match individually and there's a lot of positive to take away and a lot of
01:08learning opportunities even in today's loss.
01:21It's difficult to say that I expect her to beat world number nine. That would be
01:25unfair to a player that is ranked within the thirties. However as being part of the
01:31process with her I've seen the step by step she's been able to take the talk she's had
01:37with us. I've seen the the potential when she gets it right that she can
01:45challenge not at least at the Uber Cup where she played against really top top
01:50world-class players and were able to challenge. Didn't get any wins as such but the
01:56way she played the discipline it took and the quality kind of led to something so
02:04we've seen she's been able to take maybe a game of somebody and but not been able to
02:09do and so yesterday was a positive step forward. Most importantly it's in the
02:15player's own belief in in herself and her ability that what she's working on she
02:21now has something that okay I actually can and I do also in some sense say I
02:26belong at a higher level. So that is the difficult part also for a lot of young
02:31players to get the final belief that they actually have the ability and do
02:36belong there. So yeah positive step.
02:40How about Lin Ting? Do you feel that she's also trending in the right direction?
02:46Yeah she's on the more or less the same path also things has even happened over the
02:53last year and a half faster for her because she was outside top 80 so a lot of
02:59things has happened very fast this is also a process that takes time to
03:02comprehend then suddenly dealing with expectation now because I've beaten should
03:09I do it every time you like to think it's possible but it nobody does so it's
03:15again getting more mature getting more acceptance so for me it's exactly the same
03:20if you're talking about women's singles or even our younger singles it's the same
03:26the same process step by step and not getting ahead of your help yourself
